We’re joined by Justin Comer and Evan Jones of the Rock Hard Caucus podcast for their on-the-ground report from this year’s Iowa State Fair. Over the course of two days, Justin & Evan endured the brutal heat and hog stench of the Des Moines fairgrounds to see Mike Pence, Francis Suarez, Vivek Ramaswamy, Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis, Marianne Williamson, RFK Jr. and more, all live and in the flesh. We get their takes on the Iowa political scene, what candidates can convincingly appear to be regular humans, and which of these freaks are worth paying attention to, if any.

The last name of "Ramaswamy" makes me think of food poisoning and liquid diarrhea. You can practically smell the foul air and hear the liquid sounds. Also it makes me think of no air conditioning in a stifling restaurant. So I guess Indian food.

S Agsar

You did a no growth

Peter Wilson

If anyone wants a free ticket to the Toronto show, DM me on twitter (@petejohnwilson). Can't make it and would like to hook someone up.

Jordon

The Adam episode is really funny

Poppy Chulo

I would be interested if you could throw in an airline ticket, round trip, business class minimum and a Dove chocolate bar.

Poppy Chulo

I wish opium dens were still a thing.

Ricardo Pleasure

it's funny when they talked about marianne williamson, and chris mentioned seeing her live a few times, but it's funny that they can't talk about how they interviewed her anymore

Joshua Fiver

Great ep, I am seat belt convinced, love the boys

Kyle Petty

Why can't they mention that?

calvin kilby

Probably because of who interviewed her

Julie Baxter

Oh thanks, boys. Now I feel all icky and rancid.

Waffle Poet

Hasan Piker interviewed her on stream. You can find the interview on his YT channel. Despite the fact the Chapos, but especially Felix, likes Hasan, it’s pretty evident this community despises him. Which is funny considering he advocates for the exact same shit they do; he just does it eight hours a day, seven days a week.

Bob K Ross

For the record: absolutey 0 people will translate your name.

owen

There’s my Chippy…

Steeeeve

What is this, the cum town patreon?

barfsack ocrumbo

y'all ever think about how the chapo guys never paid dj smokey for the theme song

drewb

I'm sorry that the miserable fetid jug of processed corn and dairy products you call a body can't handle some of the finest, most delicious food on the planet

b-rar

You're a born winner

Zach H.

Can’t wait for Ramswamy’s fans being referred to as the ‘Viveksection’

Nick Perri

Any dumbass talking about how nefarious Vanguard is doesn’t know what they’re talking about (See RFKJ)

donB

these guys are supposed to know politics but can't even pronounce maga

William

Damn dude you ROASTED them

Alexandr

Hasan's been on the podcast before. And is a friend, most people think he's great.

Andrew Mueller

You're not worthy to worship at the altar of the butter cow

Alexandr

Or El Chapo Guzman.

Doug Cartel

I'm the only real communist here

Drew McGill

What? They are bad though.

C. Andrew

you're so twisted that's so freaking epic my guy

C. Andrew

It was the highlight of visiting the state, followed closely by the John Wayne birthplace museum.

Justin Comer

There's nothing wrong with the way I say MAGA

Nick Perri

Vanguard has single handedly lowered the cost of investing for regular people. The reason they own so much is because they sell really cheap index funds. Granted, any investment firm perpetuates capitalism but as long as we’re in it, they are a net positive force. What do you think they do that is “bad”?

TrashRat420

Burgum sounds like the name of a black metal band.

C. Andrew

What you described is precisely why they're bad. If you told me "Wow this company made a product which makes gambling easier than ever for poor people" I wouldn't think that's a good thing. We all gotta get that bag or whatever, not worth litigating if you should or shouldn't invest, but make no mistake that more people investing means more skin in the game. You're leveraging your own skin against the behemoth of capital, and hell, maybe you'll get lucky. They're selling the image that YOU the AVERAGE JOE can be an investor, too, and become a millionaire when in reality, at best, maybe you'll be scrounging enough together to retire. At worst, Vanguard will take its fees while capital takes your money, with no promise of a return. That's vile.

Jaime Christley

You use the word leveraging in an interesting way. Do you think these customers are all using borrowed funds to make their investments?

Derwood

Well, well, well if it isn’t Mr. Coralville himself. Love seeing my local despot link up with the Chapo boys for a slopfest.

Jeremy O

Matt over there acting like he doesn't have the same message on his vlogs as Marianne. We need more love!

Colemanonymous

he's fine. he's just for teenagers. its a different intended audience.

Doug Cartel

GOP 2024 platform: -Nuke Mexico -Abolish the FBI -Boys have a penis girls have a vagina -Shadow government bad

Nick Perri

You sound like you don’t know much about investing. It can be like gambling if you’re buying meme stocks or crypto bullshit but putting money in diversified mutual funds with extremely low costs is the best way to keep inflation from eating the average person’s savings. End of story.

Nick Perri

And by the way, I’m not defending BlackRock who I think does do really bad shit like buy up housing and making it impossible for regular people to buy a house. It’s just dumb to lump them together because they’re both big.

Jaime Christley

I don’t think they like thinking or talking about vaginas. It’s all about the peen over in the GOP. Taking them out, inspecting them, comparing them, patting your homie’s, even hacking them off! - the whole caboodle.

Jed Levin

“Got any ce-ment around here?”

Doug Cartel

Yeah 90% of their rhetoric is about dudes in dresses kicking down the door to the women's bathroom, I dont think they can even contemplate women transitioning because the thought of seeing someone who looks like a dude but could still get pregnant is just beyond the pale for them They already have enough trouble figuring out 2 genders so southeast asian gender constructs would cause their brains to leak out their ears

etienne

just found out a bunch of friends of mine are ganging up to go see Barbie saturday night so the live better be good

Yairo Martis

Who or what is a Dug Burg'em?

Jaime Christley

Anything to do with vags is fraught with horror and suspicion.

etienne

google doug burgum

Paul F. Holzfäller

Matt’s pants are getting tight at the thought of buttering up some corn on the cob with a goddamn cow statue.

etienne

imagine a midwestern hentai where they ... nevermind

Major bit me

If you are investing you aren’t an average person. Most people on earth are peasants or workers not labor aristocrats or petite bourgeoisies buying equities

Jake V

Moment of silence for all non-premium listeners who haven’t heard Felix in approximately 87 days

Nick Perri

Unfortunately, yes, there are millions just trying to survive but teachers, nurses, union workers, and many others have money in pensions, 403bs, or 401ks that are better off because of lower investing fees. I think it’s ok to say that.

Jaime Christley

I think maybe some of us are confusing investing with trading (i.e. options trading, day trading, swing trading etc). My advice for the latter is, Don't Do That. It's not a rational activity, and as the old saying goes, the market can remain irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

Thomas Stevens

Immediately purchased my abolish the FBI and I identify as nonBidenary hats at the Perry Johnson store, thanks boys.

Paul F. Holzfäller

Passed on the “W.O.K.E. keep kids off socialism” hat? I guess they can’t all be winners.

NYCM&AHole

Governor Burzum should’ve had Burzum playing on a portable speaker which would’ve got him more attention

Gaelle Huggins

Running for president is the new side hustle

Maxwell Harkness

don't talk about MAGA until you've read the manga

archipelago_go

don’t forget how long he takes to get to those convoluted references

microaggressions

i once shook his hand and he told me i was hardy while staring blankly past me.

CE

The GOP reminds me of our neighborhood clubhouse we had growing up in the 1980’s, but even we had more coherent rules and objectives as to why we existed.

Nolan

I’m the only bad bitch in the Chapo comments

Of course

I'm in my 50s, so when they end social security, running for president will be my retirement plan.

Kinetics Video

I tried, but I can't read right to left, left to right, up to down, or down to up

could you guys imagine the iowa state fair in 1946. First one after ww2. wouldve been electric.

skrrt vonnegut

"if you're wondering how it smells after all those years, it's not great. * the smell of the aged butter is a spectrum between parmesan and blue cheese * "think of your favorite aged cheese," Pratt told the Washington Post. "I try to reframe people's minds so they don't just think, 'rancid butter' Bullshit lady, it smells horrible.

etienne

mhh yes the 4 branches of the goverment: the Legislative, the Judicial, the Executive, and the Bonus Executive

etienne

yeah dude i might be from a south asian origin but im actually monotheistic christian, check this out: There Is One God But God, and Muhammad Is His Prophet ... wait hold on

Noctor

Lol fuckin Nikki Haley got China confused with Israel on that Pegasus shit

Noctor

God is great, death to the US, death to Israel, curse…

Noctor

Yeah! Pure Saxon names only am I right?!

Poppy Chulo

Did you knock over a bunch of your Funko pops banging that out on your keyboard?

Poppy Chulo

It's not good enough to warrant payment. He should just be happy someones using it.

Noctor

Ok so shortly after talk about the self promotion of political candidates like “the face of back white-supremacy” guy, y’all talk about about a “seat belt convincer” without mentioning Ralph Nader who I subjected myself to listening to this very fucking day on the daily Democracy Now podcast ending with promotion of his $5 Patreon-ass “Capitol” chain mail/newspaper. Unsafe at any speed? Anyone?

Jaime Christley

Or did they? Impossible to know for sure! The magic of posting.

K H

Oh man. No voting until 25 but go ahead and join the military. Big brain energy. He's worried about kids and gender? Lets talk about the Kamasutra sir. What gender is Shiva sir? Is that how you want our boys dressed? Fiddling with their pinkies out? I don't think so. I WILL NOT BOW TO ALAH!

K H

Well get your opening move ready. Either they will extend the age or cut it. Eventually it will be totally worthless. Cue BlackRock old and infirm insurance double mortgage, finally allowing the freedom to sell yourself into slavery.

K H

I'm pretty sure you could pull off a socialist presidency if you ran it through the Republican party. It seems like the party itself has almost no structured self governance, it is just directly manipulated by capital.

K H

Hasan is great. I'm subsribed to his onlyFans. House has gotten way more interesting since his mom moved in.

Waffle Poet

Community polling belies the narrative it’s comprised of teenagers. More than a third are 30 and older. 18 and under has been steadily decreasing for years. You’re right about intended audiences, though. The trap house audience is comprised of those who are through the door; Hasan’s intention is to crack that door open, or at least show folks it exists. It’s heartening to see some change in this community’s attitude. If you’re inclined, or bored, check out the responses to Hasan’s two appearances on Chapo in years past. Perhaps things have changed considerably.

Redsriding

Oh got it I misheard Ty

Pædiekeix

Country boys make do

andrew rogers

Wow never expected a ray gun callout lmao. I was (sincerely) gifted a shirt of theirs that said “no coast” over a map of the US. I wasn’t embarrassed by that one when I wore it 10 years ago, but walking by their store now does psychic damage

Poppy Chulo

Ryan Moore, more like Ryan Bore!

K H

We do though, it's true. Sometimes love must be both hard, kinetic, and tactical.

K H

What a weird thing to fixate on. They barely mentioned Vanguard. I'm certain Vanguard is evil and sinister, but I don't keep track of the specific machinations of every debased institution. I invest, brokerage is big and probably evil, why is that bothering you? Yea, you're part of an evil machine. What do you want?

Nick Perri

The only thing that bothers me is this narrative I hear from a lot of politicians and pundits (both right and left, though not Chapo directly) that blames these large fund companies for increased “wokeness” or other ills. It bothers me not because I have sympathy for Vanguard, but because someone like RFKJ uses it to distract from who is actually to blame (politicians and the big businesses / wealthy that direct them).

Jeremy O

Got myself 2 Defund the FBI shirts. Thanks for the tip

Bobi Jon-son Kenobi

My idea for breaking up Blackrock and the other real estate behemoths is for the government to seize all the property they bought up and turn it into public housing. That way, you can claim it was a taking for public use and therefore you don’t owe any just compensation. Of course, no one running the government would ever sign on to that idea

barfsack ocrumbo

actually it was the magic of dj smokey saying they never paid him in the comment section of the song itself

Poppy Chulo

If anyone is looking for great past episodes check out EP 499. Rush Limbaugh had just died and then the spend the rest of the ep on the Texas power grid failure. Matt also has a coupler great rants. If anyone else has listened to any great back episodes let us know.

Keith Jackewicz

Matt talked himself into being a weird Gnostic Buddhist Christian doing vlogs about how sad he was that Bernie lost.

Axel H.

That was one of the first episodes I ever listened to. Good introduction to the podcast.

Jaime Christley

so he's not getting residuals? that's your problem for him?

Shane

Perry Johnson is now charging $7 shipping. Great job, everyone!

Marcel Szabo

Cpac convention: judgement days is a classic.

Justin Comer

Sorry, I was wrong about everything being free shipping. However, I'm looking at a cart of 60 hats right now with no shipping charge.

etienne

smokey actually had to launch 2 very successful online memes ("legalize nuclear bombs" and "shadow wizard money gang") and move to montreal to break even

Shane

No it was free. I got two orders in with free shipping but on the third they charged.

Jaime Christley

If you've never had boiling hot beer you've never really had beer. Sorry I mean root beer not beer beer. carry on

jugsdotgov

I’m so confused - they’d never seen pigs at the fair before? They were disturbed by baby farm animals at a state fair?

SparkSolidarity

Anyone need a ticket for the Toronto show? I got one willing to part with for a grey wolf in need.
